\u3010LAKE ABODE\u3011<\/p>\n
This comfy cotton tee shirt depicts details from HKMoA\u2019s priceless oil on canvas painting \u201cAbode In The Colorful Lake\u201d by world-revered Chinese contemporary artist Wu Guanzhong. The painting is digitally printed on 100% silk and sewn onto the shirt front. Wear it alone over jeans, or under any Sparkle kung-fu jacket for an extra dash of color.<\/p>\n
Wu Guanzhong first started painting with oil and then moved on to ink, searching for a way to fuse Eastern and Western art. His works bring together the aesthetics of traditional Chinese ink and modern Western art, pioneering the unique “Wu studio style”.
\nWu had an enduring connection with Hong Kong. He visited Hong Kong on many occasions, such as hosting art exhibitions and attending academic seminars and talks by invitation. He made acquaintance with many members of the art circles. He also did sketches on the streets in Hong Kong, and the city is the subject of many of his paintings. Wu highly rated Hong Kong’s cultural environment, to him, Hong Kong was a confluence where he could “see both the East and the West at the same time”. It is a quality that can also be found in his art creations.
\nThe painting \u201cAbode In The Colorful Lake\u201d depicts the artist\u2019s impression of a scenery from his hometown in Jiangnan province \u2014 white-walled houses with black roof tiles surrounded by greenery and water. Wu Guanzhong discovered the abstract beauty of lines, dots and planes through the jiangnan dwellings, bridges and rivers. He used this figurative subject matter to express the abstract concept of colour, more specifically the interesting relationship between colours and white \u2014 very much at odds with one another and yet interdependent. He wrote, \u201cthe colours of the lake and the white of the houses, they nestle lovingly against each other.\u201d Without the white of the houses, the colours of the lake cannot stand out; without the colours of the lake, the white of the houses will be less distinct.<\/p>\n
